Introduction to the Image Hose

Painter's primarily known as a tool that emulates natural media and it…does that in spades.…But another side of Painter is what I call through the looking glass tools.…These are tools that, because we're in an environment that's digital, you can do…things that you can't do in the traditional world, and why stop at just emulating…traditional media? Why not take advantage of the fact that we are in this…neverland where things can happen that you can't do with traditional tools?…The Image Hose is just such a tool and I want to give you a quick look at the…Image Hose before we get into the mechanics of it, just so you can see…basically what it does.…

So I am going to go up and I've already got Image Hose selected here, but what…you want to find if you don't have it is, go into your category list and find…Image Hose, and then once the variants are up, go down to Spray-Size-P, and I'll…get into what this means in a moment.…And that's all we want, we just want Spray-Size-P right there.…Okay, so we've selected an Image Hose, now we need to get a nozzle file to spray…

Q: When I double-click the John's Smart Brushes.brushcategory file as shown in the Chapter 8 movie "Understanding the Underpainting palette," the brushes do not install. Instead I get the message "There is no application set to open this document."

A: This is because your operating system does not recognize the .brushcategory file type. This can be circumvented by selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing "Open With…".

If Painter 12 is not in the list, use "Other…" to locate and select Painter 12.

The file will be read by Painter and the brush category will be installed.
